Are there no trademark issues from using the restaurant's official logos? These restaurants may not have filed on everything they should have and probably don't have the resources to fight it regardless, but what if they did? A large company would definitely send a C&D immediately for actions like this.

The SEO damage done to small businesses makes them almost reliant upon GrubHub after making the mistake of doing business with them in the first place. Terms of Service can say whatever it wants it's not an official legal document, just something they turn to when their ethics violations get exposed.
